2024 ​Polar ​Express

All Aboard to the North Pole!


Train in Railway

Time stops here

Every winter the Grand Canyon Railway’s Polar Express ​comes to life on a journey from the nighttime wilderness of ​Williams, Arizona, to the enchanted beauty of “the North ​Pole”—where Santa Claus and his reindeer are waiting with ​a keepsake present for every good boy and girl. You’ll be ​smiling from ear to ear, as you watch children’s faces light up ​when the train arrives, and enjoy hot chocolate and chocolate ​chip cookies while listening to this timeless story.

Make this a family holiday tradition, and call today to make ​your reservations (because space is limited to those who truly ​believe in the spirit of Christmas). The ride lasts a little over ​an hour, with the train leaving each night at 5:30 p.m. and ​7:30 p.m.





TOTAL ROUND-TRIP TIME: Approximately 90 minutes.
